While women’s masturbators have become mainstream with the popularity of rabbit vibrators, there’s still a bit of a taboo about men masturbating with anything other than their hands. While this may be a popular opinion, there are many masturbatory aids men can use to enhance their self-pleasuring experiences and we promise they don’t include a freshly baked apple pie.

Male Masturbators Guide

While getting a "not tonight, honey" from your spouse is a mood killer, once you reach a certain point in your arousal you have to do something about it.

Regular ejaculation can be medically beneficial, the use of male masturbators simply make this process more comfortable and enjoyable in the absence of a partner.

Regularly flushing this system can also reduce the risk of prostate complications. Male masturbation can be compared to a good cardio workout and male masturbators are the comfortable shoes.

Enhancing your masturbation experience can be done with a few different types of products: enhancements, sleeves and masturbators.

Each type varies in form and function and depending on your needs different options may be best suited for you.

Masturbation Enhancements for Men

There are many ways you can easily enhance your masturbation experience. One simple way is to use a cock ring or increase lubrication.

Cock rings are sex toys that men can use even during masturbation. When placed at the base of your penis, cock rings constrict blood flow helping you to maintain erection, but they can also be designed for pleasure. You can find cock rings with no vibrator, one vibrator and even two vibrators; this wide variety of options can allow you to really dial in on what you like and try something new now and again.

Lubricant of any kind can add something extra to any sexual experience. By simply adding extra lubrication to your masturbation it can ease your stroking as well as ensure you don’t feel too much friction. If you use a warming, cooling, or tingling lubricant this will add something fun and spicy to your masturbatory experience. This can give yourself love the something extra it needs to take it from simple to simply exciting!

Ideal for: Men who want to dial up the masturbation experience on their own with inconspicuous products. Because lubricant and cock rings are products you can also use to pleasure your partner, she won’t think anything about you stocking up on them for your personal collection.

Masturbation Sleeves for Men

Masturbation sleeves provide stimulation through a tunnel for penile insertion. Sleeves offer realistic and varied textures and some are extension sleeves which add extra length to your penis. Sleeves can come in various lengths and they may be enhanced with bumps, ribs, pleasure nubs or sensual studs to hug your penis and, depending the sleeve, tickle her fancy as well.

Ideal for: Men who want to enhance solo masturbation and mutual masturbation. Sleeves are also good for men who want the option to use this product with their partner.

Masturbators for Men

Male masturbators are devices designed to mimic body parts; mouth, vagina and butt, to help simulate a sexual experience during masturbation.

Masturbators come in different materials from TPR to Cyberskin. Some are not realistic while others have a nicely realistic appearance to them. The fun thing about masturbators is that you can even find some molded directly from your favorite adult movie actresses.

There are even varieties of masturbators that rotate, vibrate and do all sorts of pleasurable things.

Please note, that many of the more high-end masturbators are made from Cyberskin or, as is the case with the Fleshlight, SuperSkin. Do not use any oil based products with these types of toys as it could deteriorate it. Waterbased sexual lubricants would be safest to use.

Ideal for: Men who need a drastically different masturbation experience or men who want masturbation to mimic sex or a sexual fantasy.
